Craftsman Style Gives you Lots of Options for Wood Accents

The Craftsman style embraces several design elements most notably simple lines and square features. Using wood accents in a room or throughout a home is one of the best ways to capture the essence of this style. Here are a few ideas on how to do it:

• Entry & Stairway – Introduce your guests to the craftsman style with the front door and entryway. Then, wow them some more with a dramatic wooden stairway.

• Fireplace & Surround– As the focus of the room, a fireplace mantel and its surround immediately draw the eye and sets the tone for the room. Any number of craftsman style details can be included here.

• Built-In Furnishings – A banquette in the dining room or an installed breakfast nook in the kitchen add a distinctive design element that traditional furniture just cannot match.

• Floors & Trim – Wood floors underneath and beams overhead can create a truly inspiring décor. Add some wainscoting in between to really showcase the style.
